Three Prescribed Burns On Tap For Tuesday Near Flagstaff

Thanks to high fire danger later in the week, fire managers on the Coconino National Forest will conduct three prescribed burns today. A 100-acre prescribed burn is set for near Munds Park. Officials say the burn will take place just south of Munds Park, south of Odell Lake sometime after 8 a.m. Smoke from the burn is expected to move east and northeast and may settle into the Munds Park, Munds Canyon and Oak Creek Canyon areas. A large burn with a lot of fuel will also take place near Lower Lake Mary. Fire officials plan to burn over 13-hundred acres. The fire is expected to pump out a lot of smoke after 8 a.m. More burns are also scheduled in the Buck Mountain area.
